(Hunter-R) Yet he has no comment on the pictures we've seen from our torture of Iraqis.

:crazy:

1. Have you seen his 8X10 glossy of the sarin shell yet?

Saw MTP earlier this morning.

He was waving it around, but wouldn't show it to the camera.

Guess its not too impressive looking.

They really are getting desperate.

4. Two words for Hunter:

Blow me.

Better yet, Fuck off.

It is time we stopped toleration of these people. They are evil and they spread evil. The discarding of the Fairness Doctrine so long ago loaded and cocked their guns for them: time to level the playing field or start practicing some SERIOUS "gun control."

2. Nor any explanation why it took us ten years to react to that picture.

And I do so wish someone had asked him that.

3. He didn't say when the photo was taken.

Saddam orded the gassing of Halabja, Iraqi Kurdistan, in 1988!

Russert should have asked him why Poppy didn't go after Saddam in 1991.

7. Or Better Yet...Go After Him in 1988!

Instead, the "When Character was King" Reagan Admin gave Saddam a pass!

Repubs never answer that very well.

5. For one thing, all that "gassing" took place

during the Reagan/Bush administrations, not during the Clinton era, and I heard a military analyst say the 130 cal is a U.S. artillery size shell from 1980s when Reagan/Bush sold chemicals for weapons via Rumsfeld.

8. He is a fear-monger and a liar

That gassing occurred when Hussein was Reagan's and GHWB's boy toy. We even gave him the materials to make the gas. We supported him. We didn't let out a peep. That is when Rumsfeld went to Iraq to shake Hussein's hand. Hussein wasn't gassing people when we invaded, nor was he a threat to do so.

He also stated, with reference to the alleged sarin gas shell, "We are finding dozens of these a week." WHAT A FUCKING LIAR. I sure wish Dennis would have called him on that one.

11. As a teacher I think I can state with first hand knowledge...

...that gop talking points are, more often than is comfortable, equivalent to excuses badly behaving students offer for their behavior. My question is: When these student excuses are rightfully dismissed as irrelevant why is it that the American people so readily accept and repeat the gop excuses? Is the answer simply that H.L. Mencken was precisely correct when he stated that it is impossible to overestimate the stupidity of the American people?
